    The class was excellent. The professor exceeded my expectations for what a beginner Fabrics class would entail. Glad there are professors and organizations/colleges such as FIT offering these classes.

    Fabulous class; I learned a lot even though I know a bit about fabrics. The instructor was wonderful: interesting, prepared, relatable.

    I loved the class! The teacher was very knowledgeable about the topic and did a great job explaining the material. The course was scheduled for three hours and ended early which is why I took away one star. It was so interesting that I wish it lasted longer! :)

    This class was a good basic class. I think it was more geared towards designers and home sewers as we discussed a lot of the ways to construct fabric, instead of the properties of the fabric itself, which i was I was looking for.

    It was good for the time allotted. I'm pretty sure if we had an extra hour we could've gone deeper into the nature of fabrics. I'd recommend this class for a person transitioning into fashion from a completely different career.
